C&C - Rebuild of Evangelion 1.11 and 2.22 [12/27]

Like This Thread!

Toonami concludes its 2014 Month of Movies with a double feature presentation of the first two Rebuild of Evangelion movies! This four-part film series is an updated remake of the classic anime TV series, Neon Genesis Evangelion, which aired for 2 episodes on Toonami back in 2003, then later in full on Adult Swim in 2005.

At the age of 14, Shinji Ikari is summoned by his father to the city of Neo Tokyo-3 after several years of separation. There, he unwillingly accepts the task of becoming the pilot of a giant robot by the name EVA01 and protecting the world from enigmatic invaders known as "angels."

The first of these four films, You Are (Not) Alone, retells the first six episodes of the original series. The second film, You Can (Not) Advance (as well as the remaining films, which Toonami hasn't aired yet), will diverge as a sort of "reconstruction" of the series. Enjoy the retelling of Hideaki Anno's groundbreaking and influential saga tonight at midnight. Only Toonami.

Neo-Toonami shows its first movie event on the same weekend I'm visiting my niece in Colorado. And the soonest I'll probably get to watch it is Monday.

Oh well, no Soul Eater or Eureka Seven to miss...

Lucky I saw this a couple of years ago at a local Japanese culture festival.

Spoiler:

If you've seen the original series (I know, who hasn't) this film is essentially a rehash of events from the first few episodes right up until Asuka's debut, with the exclusions of the atomic-powered "Jet Alone" experiment and any mention of "hedgehog's dilemma", and a new scene at the very end. If that doesn't do it for you, at least this re-telling comes with fresher animation and Angel designs and a new NERV logo.

I'm told the Rebuild movies will have a completely new ending, but I've only seen this one so far, so I wouldn't know anything about that...apart from the very end of THIS one.

Ah, yes, I remember SFDebris reviewed this movie... totally blind, without any context whatsoever. The reactions were entertaining

New NERV Logo? I am so there!

Toonami starting up, and Tom just announced they're showing the movie.
